Giuliani acknowledges his social stands could hurt him

Giuliani campaigned in Cedar Rapids, Iowa Tuesday.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (CNN) -- In his first campaign swing into Iowa as an announced presidential candidate, Rudy Giuliani acknowledged Tuesday that his positions on some social issues may hurt him among more conservative caucus-goers here next January.

"I am who I am and people have to evaluate the whole record," Giuliani told reporters after a muddy walking-tour of a Cedar Rapids neighborhood. "I believe I'm the strongest fiscal conservative in this race. I am against abortion, I think it's wrong, but ultimately I believe it's an individual choice. People should know that, they should evaluate that and decide how important that is."
